“The tree’s character is of a large wide trunk with a flat canopy of branches. The table’s wide based is produced in Senegal, West Africa, while the top is produced in Italy. The unification of the base and top via two continents, represents a symbolic relationship between Moroso and M’Afrique, the husband and wife team of Patrizia and Salam”.
